Vintage Coconuts 3 year Blogiversary!

Happy Valentine's day! I have read I don't know how many Valentine's posts and now here I am writing my own. See that bunny above? That was my very first Valentine's card. I got it when I was 5 months old. It was from my Great Grandma & Great Grandpa on my Mom's side who are no longer with us.

(Click on photo to see larger version)

The card has been kept safely tucked away in my baby book.

where I found this little gem of my first Birthday. I am actually loving my patchwork style highchair and Minnie Mouse shirt.

"Give me CAKE!" (There was no calorie counting going on here.)

Okay back to the card

Here is the inside. Which says just in case it's not clear.

"Hi there! My name's 'HAPPY' And it suits me to a 'T'

Because the chance to be YOUR Valentine Makes me 'happy' as can be!

And if you'll give my paw a shake, At least a time or two.

I'll wiggle my big funny ear and roll my eyes for you."

To Melanie

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

FROM HAPPY AND Grandma & Grandpa

The best part is shaking Happy's hand. He is either rolling his eyes or having a seizure..?! I can't really tell.

Vintage Coconut is 3 years old today. What possessed me to write my first ever post on Valentine's day I will never know. I suppose Mr. Coco was busy playing Xbox. *lol*

"Message to Mr. Coco" I love you very much. More than all the crab legs in the ocean on the beaches and in the supermarket's.

Even though you came back from the Dentist this afternoon after getting fillings and your mouth was frozen and you looked and talked silly. Pretty much reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite.... I still loved you not a crab leg less.

This was the first picture I ever posted to this blog.

(Me and my best buddy Jersey)

I appreciated all your comments on my last post. You know.... The toilet cleaning one!

I hope you had a nice V day too Ms VC. I love your first v card from your Grandparents - such a special and sweet little memento. Happy blogiversary too, oh, and love that pic of little Miss VC. You were (and still are!) a cutie x

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!! I think its just lovely that your grandparents sent you a valentines. So special and the words are just gorgeous!! I think your blog is so cool - hope you and Mr Coco had a sweet Valentines day together.

It's lovely to have met you too! I love how baby photos from that time look the same, you seem to be plonked in a corner of a partially decorated room... Which is what a lot of my photos look like too. Even now! You're fantabulousa and I hope you keep blogging for years to come. That card is really sweet if a little demented xxxx
